Hello,
Please allow me to briefly describe my scenario. I'd really appreciate feedback on this:
I applied to both USNA and USAFA. I applied for a nom from my congressman and from my senator, and both nominated me to USNA. I was also just appointed to USNA. However, I am still VERY interested in the prospect of going to the Air Force Academy. Up until a couple of days ago, I thought my chances of getting an appointment there were all but extinguished because both of my nominations went to Navy. However, my BGO told me about the VP Nomination possibility.
I checked on the White House website for the VP Nomination page, and it said that all VP nomination applications were due by Jan 31, so I promptly turned one in, placing Air Force as my preference. I understand that the Academies themselves take the pick for the VP nominations. Will USAFA recognize the fact that I've been nominated twice to Navy, and appointed there, and proceed to keep my USAFA chances alive by granting me a VP nomination? Is this a possibility?
The USNA class of 2014 profile shows that 773 Presidential nominations were given out... with this in mind, can I be hopeful that I could still receive a nomination and be eligible for a USAFA appointment?
Many Thanks!
